Inter youngster Francesco Pio Esposito could earn starts as Marcus Thuram’s form dips. Punters might back Esposito as an anytime scorer or target shots/goal involvement markets, and consider Inter over 1.5 goals if the Martinez–Esposito pairing starts. Avoid heavy bets on Thuram to score until form improves — Esposito’s promotion could offer value in anytime-scorer and substitute/first-goal markets.
Esposito Poised to Leapfrog Thuram in Inter’s Attack
Marcus Thuram, the club’s high-profile summer signing, has seen his place under threat after a noticeable drop in form following a lengthy injury layoff. Francesco Pio Esposito, the young Italian forward, is reportedly in line for a more prominent role and could start alongside Lautaro Martínez in Inter’s upcoming fixture against Pisa.
Thuram’s Form and Fitness Concerns
Thuram’s sharpness has been inconsistent since returning from injury in November. The French forward has struggled to find the net in recent European outings, failing to score in five straight Champions League appearances after a bright opening-day double. In Serie A he has managed just three goals in ten matches since his comeback, prompting tactical reassessments.
Why Pio Esposito Could Benefit
Esposito’s technical ability, movement in the final third and link-up play with Martínez present an appealing alternative for the coach. A chance to start against Pisa would give the 18-year-old valuable first-team minutes and could accelerate his integration into Inter’s senior setup, offering supporters and the club a fresh attacking option.
Tactical Implications for Inter
Introducing Esposito alongside Martínez could change Inter’s attacking patterns: quicker interchanges, more runs in behind and greater unpredictability in the penalty area. That shift could relieve pressure on Thuram while providing Martínez with an energetic partner who can exploit spaces left by defenders focused on the Argentine.
Betting Implications
Esposito starting would create short-term market value: - Consider backing Esposito in anytime-scorer or shots-on-target markets if named in the XI. - Inter to score over 1.5 goals could be attractive if the Martinez–Esposito pairing starts. - Exercise caution on backing Thuram to score until his form returns; substitute/bench markets or under-scoring props may offer value.
Overall, a Pio start introduces new betting angles — especially in anytime-scorer and goal-involvement markets — and could shift short-term expectations around Inter’s frontline.
